During the process, you may need to insert the XP CD so the relevant files can be copied across to your computer.

A typical Windows XP CD will have a folder on the disk called "i386". This entire folder can be copied to the hard drive and then can be referenced for anything needing the Windows XP Disk. When a program asks you for the CD, select the path on the hard drive where you copied this folder to.
